Connecting laptop to nokia E71

Hi i just got a Nokia E71 from straight talk i was wandering if i could use it to connect my laptop to the internet if so how can i do that. I have downloaded pc suite on my computer but its having trouble connecting to the internet. Thanks in advance for the help

Hi, check out this tutorial first to make sure you do it the correct way: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/how-to/connect-to-the-web
If your device is brand new, I would check that you have the right internet acces point settings installed in your device. If you are missing internett and mms settings, you should usually be able to get them from your service providers internet site. If you cannot find it there, give them a call.
You will have to connect using your service providers net on your phone, beware of that if you don't have a surf plan, I would check out the costs.

Nokia E71 Connect to PC Ridiculous

Hey, I have spent the past 2 days trying to connect my laptop to the internet using the connection from my Nokia E71.
I have tried everything I can to get it to connect, including using
- Nokia PC Suite
- Ovi Suite
- Nokia PC Internet Access
I have been able to successfully establish a connection with my exetel account using both Ovi and Internet Access however when I open up a browser to use the internet, it simply doesn't work. PC suite is a little less co-operative, If i make a connection in Nokia PC internet access and then click connect to internet in Nokia PC suite it says it is connected however If I try to connect using Nokia PC suite I get an error.
I have literally spent hour upon hour trying to solve this problem. I have not read of anyone else having this problem and am unable to understand why I am having such incredible and frustrating difficulty achieving such a simple task.
When not connected to the computer, I can browse the internet using the phones dataplan.
Also, If i check the status of the connection, there are packets being sent and recieved. I have tried multiple browsers.
Please help me, thanks in advance.

Don't use PCSuite and OVI at the same time (driver issues). Uninstall one of them. Check your firewall and make sure your PC browser is set to online.

How to Print from a Nokia E71 to HP Photosmart C47...

Hi All,
I have recently brought a HP Photosmart C4788 All in One printer which is a Wi-fi printer. I have configured the same in my pc through a Netgear Wi-fi Adapter and its working fine with my pc. Now i want to know if i can use my Nokia E71 to fire prints through Wi-fi to my printer. Can anyone please let me know how to configure the above printer on my Nokia E71 step wise.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Check the manual for these settings.
Open Menu-> office-> printers-> options-> add-> driver-> HP mobile, bearer-> socket, accesspoint-> your AP, host-> IP of printer, port-> 9100, printer model-> photo smart printers. Make sure that antivirus and firewall accept the connection.

Nokia E71 Fading Text On Display

Hello Nokia Owners,
Hopefully someone has seen this issue and have an easy fix, as I'm frustrated about this oddball occurrence. I'm wondering if there's a QA/QC issue at hand where these are being manufactured?
Within the past 6 days, I've purchased 2 brand new Nokia E71 phones from 2 different Walmart stores, 30 mins of each other. These are phones for the Straight Talk prepaid service. I have not yet activated the phones on ST, as my goal is to first test the basic functionality to determine if it's worth the $200 and will satisfy my needs.
What's happening on both phones, in the same exact manner and location on the phone, is that the menu title name for some menus have fading text. It appears as though there's a display issue. I've attached some screenshots to make it easy to see what I'm experiencing.
However, when I've tested playing the included videos in the phone at full screen, it appears to play the videos through the menu title name area with no fading. The same goes for looking at images - I do not see any fading with the included images in that area.
I have done a Soft Reset on both phones using the *# option and from the "Factory Reset" option in the menu. This has not resolved it on either phone. I have also changed themes, changed menu colors, changed the font size, none of which has resolved this.
Thus far, I've returned one phone to Walmart and ready to return the next one now due to this issue. I'm willing to try a 3rd but that's where my limit is. I really like this phone and want it, but if this issue is indicative of a fully dead or fading display after a short period of use, I will not make the investment.
Any help is most appreciated.

When trying to unlock the keypad using the standard two keys, the screen went blank then on, blank then on (consistently, like a flicker motion) with every key I hit to unlock. (I initially hit the incorrect keys to unlock the keypad.)
Short answer: I don't know. Other phones (the E52 and maybe the E5) have issues with the display lighting at odd times as the keyboard lock or phone lock activates (not typically when it deactivates). So it could be a firmware issue. But it could have also been a bad phone.

By any chance, have you performed a software update on your E73? That's the only step I have not taken, as it appears I need to activate the phone on service to do any software updates via TracFone. I can (and have) tested the E71 on my WIFI connection which works great, but I cannot invoke a software update via WIFI.
Mmm, you could try Nokia's Ovi Suite or Software Updater software for Windows. Instead of downloading a small patch file, you'd be downloading a complete 50 MB+ firmware file instead. You might see a message that no updates are available, but it would be worth a try.
But something to understand about Nokia phones: they're all different. You can have two phones with the same OS, released within months of each other (my T-Mobile E73 is very similar to the E72) and have very different issues. Maybe they each get firmware releases at nearly the same time, and one update fixes a bug while the other includes the bug. (I'm exaggerating a little, but you get my point.) The E71 is a feature pack 1 phone while the E72/E73 are feature pack 2, so while the phones share lots of surface features, their guts are often quite different. For example, I get the impression that Nokia made substantial changes to the hardware drivers from FP1 to FP2, but not always for the better. I have done several software updates to my phone, but have never seen the problem you described. Hopefully it stays that way.

NOKIA E71 "malbox' in use error message cannot sen...

Hi,
I have a Nokia E71 and cannot send emails from the gmail or pop 3 accounts set up on the device.
I can recieve emails and I know the settings are correct for the incoming and outgoing servers.
A google search has shown a number of people had this problem but I can't see any solutions.
An hour on the phone to Nokia care resulted in checking I have the correct system software on the phone ( I do).
Can any one help this problem?

Sometimes, internet service providers block access to any SMTP servers but their own over their networks. If you are sending via mobile internet then that could be the problem, try with your network operator's SMTP server (I have two mailboxes set up on my phone, one using my ISP's SMTP for when I connect via WLAN and one using the Proximus server for when I use GPRS/3G).

GPS navigator on nokia e71 which one is working?

Hello, I'd like to install a gps navigator on the nokia e71, do you have any suggestions apart from the Nokia maps? I read that Sygic is working on Nokia, do you know a bit more about it? What about licenses, try periods etc? do I have to pay a licence or to download maps with these kind of programs?
Thanks very much.
Pippobaudo

I've been using Route 66 for over a year now on my E71 and find it the most stable and usable of all. Tried nokia maps, google maps, Tom Tom, Papago, Mapking etc...
You can download it from here:
http://www.66.com/static_media/updates/mobile8_s60/M8_S60_Update_8.0.18990.exe
The application itself it free but you need to purchase the maps. The maps don't expire, but the traffic info, traffic cameras and weather are subscription based and optional.
Install the application on your memory card, you can either connect your E71 via USB or it's faster to put your micro SD card in a reader and install it from there.
Maps can be purchased directly via the application on the phone or you can download the Route 66 Sync (PC only) and do it from there.
You have the option to use R66 without data usage (HDSPA/GPRS) using the E71 internal GPS, I also successfully tried with an external CIRF III GPS module but doesn't make much difference.
You can however get faster fixes if you also enable "network based" and "assisted GPS" in the E71 phone settings (tools/settings/general/positioning/positioning methods)
Mind you that this will use a minimal amount of data usage for every fix e.g. when starting up R66.
But it has the advantage to continue the map scrolling when in tunnels by extraolating it's position using cell sites.
Good luck.

Nokia E71 Questions - 3G and GPS - URGENT PLEASE R...

Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well. I am a big noobie when it comes to phone services.
I am planning to buy an unlocked Nokia E71. My service provider is AT&T. I am currently using a Sony Ericsson w580i and I use the MediaNet data plan. However, I know the Nokia E71 is 3G capable.
My question is: Once I buy my Nokia E71:
1) How do I enable it for 3G? Is there a seperate service I have to pay monthly like MediaNet to get the speeds of 3G? How do I suscribe to the 3G service on AT&T?
2) Does Google Maps on the E71 give the exact location of me? My w580i only gives me an "accurate" location within 1100 meters, which is totally not good enough for me.
That would be all! Thanks everyone

I have AT&T with an old Cingular SIM card. I popped it into my E71 and it works just fine. I can set the phone to UMTS (3g) and it will connect and use it just fine for phones and data. Though for data it appears (to me) to go slow like it's still using Edge for data. I might need to go in and get a new SIM card meant for a 3G device to get actual 3G speeds. But right now it is not a big deal for me.
3G is not a seperate service to pay for. If you use it for voice then you don't need to do anything more. Though for data.. like me.. you might need to get a newer 3G sim card to see its full speed potential. Be warned that you will need to get a data package (not the standard Pay Per Use). PPU will get $$$ very fast. It is considered a smart phone and will cost like 29.99 for the unlimited data plan. Though since AT&T doesn't have the E71 yet you can sneak by with the unlimited medianet option for 19.99. Though if you use too much data AT&T might notice it and take the medianet option off without telling you and stick you on the pay per use plan which will cause your bill to be very $$$.
I have used google maps and it plays just fine with the internal GPS (you WILL need a data connection to use gmaps!) I think it has said it has locked on to within 20meters for me. I havnt used it in a while but I think that's the closest its got.
Another option is the builtin Nokia Maps. Not as user friendly in my opinion. But at least you can download maps to a memory card and not have to worry about using data all the time.
Hope this rambling helps.

Nokia E71 multiscanner re-installed but not workin...

HI
I JUST FORMATTED MY NOKIA E71.
AS YOU ALL KNOW , THE MULTI SCANNER DOES NOT SHOW UP AFTER A FORMAT.
BUT WITH THE HELP OF GUYS ON THE NOKIA DISCUSSION BOARD, I FOUND A SITE TO RE INSTALL MY MULTISCANNER APPLICATION.
IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM.
BUT NOW.....
EVERYTIME I USE IT ON A CARD... AND CLICK THE CAMERA... IT SAYS " READING CARD INFORMATION"
AND THEN... BLANK... NOTHING.. IT READS NOTHING!!!
PLEASE HELP!!

I have a similar problem with Multiscanner after installing Abby BCR on my N95. The test version of Abby stopped working after scanning a few businesscards and before the one day trial period was over with the message "no contact fields found". The problem is that the businesscard reader in Multiscanner also stopped working, I get the message "No layout blocks were recognized". The textscanner in Multiscanner still works fine, so suspect this problem is connected to Abby since both businesscard readers stopped working at the same time with similar messages. I've tried reinstalling the Nokia software on my phone and then reinstalling Multiscanner, but it still won't work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Nokia E71 OBEX PC Suite Services

Hello Everyone.
Please understand my environment first before posting any solutions.
I have installed E-Blue Mini Nova Bluetooth USB Dongle in my Toshiba notebook and it has been successfully installed all of its Windows Vista drivers. I than connect my Nokia E71 phone with my notebook using bluetooth link and have been paired successfully from Nokia PC Suite software. When i finish pairing my Nokia E71 with PC Suite software, it shows me a balloon there in task bar that some drivers needs to be installed and when i clicked on the Services button under the properties button of my Nokia E71 in the Bluetooth Devices box. It shows me that the drivers for the following three services didn't installed properly and that Windows Vista was asking me to put a CD in the drive in order to update the drivers. The services which needs to be installed drivers for Nokia E71 are
1. Nokia OBEX PC Suite Services
2. Nokia SyncML Server
3. SyncML DM Client
Can anyone help me out in this scenario so that i could install the drivers in order to use these services too.
Awaiting for reply.
Naeem

Hi Sage.
Thank you for your comments. Please note that i have tried to do all these things for about couple of times but didn't get success. Now, my phone is paired successfully with my notebook and with my Nokia PC Suite software. The three services which i have written in my first message was not activating as whenever i tried to check on those services, a small balloon in the task bar started to locate for the drivers and hence i do not have the drivers for those three services. Those are mentioned as Bluetooth Peripheral Device in the Device Manager of my notebook.
Please let me know if you have any other solution for this.

Nokia E71 -Hangs when we go to Maps

I recently purchase Nokia E71, Whenever i used to open the MAPS it hangs. I have waited for 5 or 6 hrs even it is not comming up. Everytime i needs to remove the battery and reset the Phone.
Is this the manufacturing defect of Phone or Maps will always hangs ?. Any users or moderators having such kind of problem.
Can you please suggest me.
Thanks

Hi roaming1977
I would check that in Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning methods that a valid network internet access point is defined, because if Assisted GPS feature can't get a network connection this can cause application to hang. Although in Nokia Maps application you can set "Go-online at start-up" to "always ask, no or yes" the Assisted GPS connection is a separate process. As you mention in another post that you don't have a "Data plan" then you need to DISABLE the Assisted GPS feature in "Positioning methods".
If it wasn't for need to backup essential data, I might have suggested a "hard reset" to return device to "out of the box" state to eliminate any possible software corruption. This would also be a good time to download latest version of Nokia Maps v2.0_4503 from here:http://europe.nokia.com/A4984199
Almost certainly this is a setting or software related problem and you would be also advised to download the latest regional maps to your device with Nokia Maploader on your PC.
Let us know how you are getting on and if you have any further questions.

Nokia E71 Menu View Totally Changed. How to revert...

The menu view of my nokia e71 has changed radically. the installations,connectivity,media,tools etc all the folders have disappeared and all their contents (buetooth,infrared,gps,realplayer,recorder etc) are cluttering up the menu. i want all the folders back with their contents in them. what should i do to get back the normal menu view?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

try the following
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
